Title: Improvements in and relating to Firegrates for Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: BATTLE ALBERT ERNEST
IPC: F23H3/02
Filed: 1910-10-18
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 24,089. Battle, A. E., and Trolley, J. H. Oct. 18. Fire-bars and grates; fire-bridges; air, supplying; ashes, removing.-A steam-boiler furnace grate specially adapted for use with forced draught, but adaptable for use with natural draught, comprises longitudinal hollow airheating bearers a, Fig. 3, communicating at the rear with the ash-pit end at the front with the hollow dead-plate b, Fig. 2, from which air passes into air conduits between the bearers a by way of openings d<1> in rotatable tubular dampers d, and thence through the spaces between the transverse fire-bars j to the fuel. The dampers d are provided at the front with injector nozzles e and are closed at their rear ends, the upper parts of the dampers being cut away, as shown, to allow for the passage of air to the fuel. By turning the dampers tliiough 90 degrees air may pass freely between the bearers to the fire, and the furnace is thus worked with natural draught. By rotating the dampers through 180 degrees, ashes accumulated therein may be dumped into the ash-pit. The fire-bars are provided with corrugations, and have their webs suitably shaped to accommodate the rotary dampers and to form air conduits between the bearers. In a modification, shown in Fig. 10, the fire-bars are formed integral with the bearers a. The side dampers d bear against partitions f, which form air conduits for supplying air to a bridge chamber g or to the bearers a. The fire-bridge comprises side cheeks h of the sectional form shown in Fig. 6, and having tongues h<2> engaging with grooves i<1> in the bridge-bars i, which are spaced apart to allow for the passage to the fire of air from the air-conduits between the bearers a or from the bridge chamber g.

Abstract: 28,097. Brecknell, W. H. Dec. 3. [Cognate Application, 1357/11.] Reservoir pens. - In self-filling reservoir pens of the type in which ink is drawn into the barrel by the movement of a cap having an air outlet, a one-way valve, comprising an air opening 5 and rubber band 6, Fig. 2, is provided on a flanged spigot 3, which screws into the rear end of the barrel 1 so that air is allowed to escape from the barrel during the suction stroke. Further, a cup - shaped washer 11, pressed ontwards by a split ring 12 encircling the shouldered end of the barrel, is adapted to fit the sliding cap 10 tightly while a portion of the barrel or reservoir is made of transparent material to guard against over-filling. In order to fill the pen, a finger is placed over the opening 13 in the cap while this is withdrawn, so that the air is sucked from the barrel through the valve 6 and replaced by ink; and, in returning the cap, the opening 13 is left uncovered.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 17,457. Heenan & Froude, and Hood, R. H. Aug. 1. Skips; runways.-Comprises means for automatically opening the bottom discharge-doors of skips running on horizontal or inclined runways or gantries. Fig. 2 shows a skip A running on wheels a on an inclined track B, up which it is hauled by a rope C attached to pivoted bottom doors A' by links c<1>. When the skip reaches its discharge point, a projection a<2> on it passes under a notched lever E pivoted on the runway, which drops down behind it and holds the skip when the tension on the rope C is released. When the rope is being paid out the doors A<1> open, and the skip is discharged. As a cross-bar c<2> falls with the links c<1>, it first depresses and then passes under one arm e<3> of a weighted lever E<2> pivoted on the lever E. Relative movement between the two levers is limited in one direction by a stop e<5>, so that, when the rope is hauled in again and the cross-bar raises the arm, the lever E is also raised and releases the :skip. The catch mechanism may be used to stop the hoisting-machinery so as to prevent overwinding of the skip.

Abstract: 22,768. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 16. Regulating mixedpressure turbines. Highpressure steam is admitted to a turbine 1, Fig. 1, by a conduit 4 and is controlled by a series of valves 25, Fig. 2, actuated by a cam-shaft 24, Figs. 1 and 2. Low - pressure steam is admitted by a conduit 3 through a butterfly - valve 6. A servo-motor 16 contains a piston 17 to which is secured a framework 18, 19, 20. This framework carries a rack 22, operating a pinion 23 secured to the valve shaft 24, and a camplate 13, operating the linkwork connected to the valve 6. The pilot valve of the servo-motor is actuated by a speedgovernor 10 through suitable linkwork and a follow-up device is provided for returning the pilot valve to its inoperative position when the governor attains its normal speed. The cams are so set that the low-pressure valve is fully opened before the high - pressure valves are opened. The high-pressure valves open successively. One feature of the invention is the location of the servo-motor at one end of the turbine, and approximately in the upright axial plane of the turbine.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 26,122. Hammer, A. Nov. 22. Ironing-machines with reciprocating iron and stationary table. - In machines wherein an iron is reciprocated above a table raised and lowered as required, clutches are provided between the driving - shaft and the iron and table so that either alone may be operated or both may be actuated in such a way as to produce a one-way ironing effect The iron 2 is reciprocated in guides 16 by a fork 15 which loosely engages a rod 17 on the iron to provide a dwell at the end of each stroke, and is driven from the shaft 5 through gear-wheels 6 7 and a clutch 8 controlled by a pedal 48. The table 20 is slidable transversely on a supporting-bracket 21 which carries adjustably a roller 26 resting on an eccentric 25. On the sleeve 42 of the eccentric is a spring-controlled wedge adapted to engage a recess in the gear-wheel 6. When the pedal 33 is depressed. levers 38 are moved so as to withdraw cams 40 from co - operation with the wedge, and the eccentric is continuously driven. On releasing the pedal, the cams return into contact with the eccentric sleeve and cause the withdrawal of the wedge so that the table stops in one of its extreme positions. The pedal 49, when depressed, forces both the other pedals down so that continual movements of the iron and table take place and the article is ironed in one direction only.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 982. Bath Sanitary Steam Laundry Co. and Adams, E. F. Jan. 12. Protectors, controlling.-A hydro-extractor for laundry use cannot be started until the cover is on, and the cover cannot be removed until the machine is stopped. The cover 1, which is placed in position over the basket by sliding in the direction of the arrow A, has a tongue 3 which forces back a spring- pressed locking bolt 5, Fig. 8, housed in a block 4 mounted on the casing 2. The bolt 5, when not pressed back by the cover, prevents the downward movement of a rod 9 which takes place when the belt-shifter rod 13 is moved to the right to start the machine. A curved extension 12 of the rod 13 passes through a slot in the upper end of the vertically guided rod 9 to operate it. The rod engages a hole in the cover 3 to lock the cover while the machine is running. The machine cannot be started with the cover off as the rod 9 is unable to descend and the shaft 13 is forced up, if if rotated, until a shoulder 13<a> engages the bracket 14. An arm 20 on the rod 13 closes a flap 15 over the slot left in the cover to accommodate the shaft 17.
